Fox Theatre

It doesn’t really matter what’s playing at the Fox—while they get great shows, it’s mostly worth buying tickets so you can just spend an evening in the stunning historic theatre. Opened in 1928 by William Fox (the movie executive whose company, which sold in 1930, still bears his name), it was designed by Detroit native Charles Howard Crane in the style of many grand theaters at that time, with all the old-school flourishes: grand lobby, check, Indian and Asian design influences, check, splashy marquee, check. It underwent a major restoration in 1987, and has been beautifully kept up since then. It’s also worth checking the schedule at the Redford, another historic theatre that shows classic films and local musical numbers.
